After listening to this track you can’t help but to stay high off life or at least reignite the flame for it…

“My World” explains the many struggles of life and making things happen for yourself. While simultaneously putting out music that hopes to instill motivation in listeners around the world. Written by Joe Sauseda Produced by S1 “Symbolyc One”.

Born and bred in Texas, Hip-Hop lyricist Joe “Angel” Sauseda has always had a connection for music since his adolescent years. His passion for the art dates back to 1994, growing up in the gospel and tejano culture, but two years later when he discovered Bone-Thugs-N-Harmony, Warren G and UGK that he knew hip-hop music was his destiny.

Every artist dreams of making it big, but for Joe the music comes first. It’s all about not letting yourself get tethered to one genre of music. “Open up your ears” he said “Because greatness happens when style and inspiration collide.” He discovered this by a trial and error process in his formative years as an artist. He tried many avenues, one being moving to Los Angeles without the proper mindset, which ended up being a gratifying learning experience that helped shape him into the artist he is today.

His lyrics are his obsession, they come from his personal relationships with money, family, friends. His debut EP “So It Begins!” discusses these trials and tribulations that so many face and turns them into verses that are meant to encourage and motivate his listeners into being their best self. “It became an obsession and I started writing about anything that was moving and motivating, whether it was something that I went through, or something I witnessed,” he said.

Joe has many projects in the works, but it is his collaboration with legendary music producer S1 “Symbolyc One” (Kanye West “Power,” Beyonce “Best I Never Had”) that will prove to be his breakthrough.

“Granddad Woolly is a 26 year old Northwest, Indiana emcee currently in Atlanta, GA, USA building his buzz. His sound contains elements of Old School, Golden Era, Boom Bap and Sci-Fi Hip Hop. The fact that his career is based off a long running novel like storyline as well as his unique songwriting, lyricism and delivery makes him someone to keep an eye on. He is an artist who although remains true to his style and craft, never boxes himself and comes off predictable. His new project “The Vanilla Tape” serves as a self reflection through music dealing with all of the obstacles and achievements that have been thrown his way up to now. The production is done solely by UK producer Vanilla and is to date the most musically and soul inspired Granddad Woolly project to date. This is also the first free project Woolly has offered in more than 5 years making it a gem that anyone can get their hands on.”

Hip Hop culture is eating itself. Its moving into a direction where art and craftsmanship is taking a backseat to excess and instant gratification. To the “initiated” this sounds quite familiar…

Amidst the chaos Vegas & McLovin have decided to find a little crevice or corner to post up on and throw out some free work for anyone willing to listen. If you like to nod your head, have a laugh every once in a while, or just be stimulated by interesting convo, try this, you might like it.”
